He demanded that she send him nude pictures and bullied her into a relationship. This is called sexual harassment. It was not β€œan affair”. RESIGN NOW.

Jamie Raskin to Kristi Noem LOLLLL:

"Apparently when your special blanket -- your blankie -- was left one of the govt jets and not transported over to the new one, your special govt employee Corey Lewandowski chivalrously stepped forward to fire the pilot, mid-air."

β€œWhy didn’t we have this Hillary in 2016?”

You did have this Hillary β€” you just falsely believed she was nothing but an ice-cold bitch.

Now that you’re dealing with Donald Trump, you wish that bitch were here to rescue you.

Today was an important day for the opposition movement. The law firms that stood up against Donald Trump threats won.

Those that capitulated and collaborated with Trump will need to explain to their families, clients and future generations why when democracy was at stake they were such cowards.

Tillis to Noem: "A 14 month old dog is basically a teenager in dog years. You decided to kill that dog bc you hadn't invested the appropriate training, then you have the audacity to write a book & say it's a leadership lesson! ... Those are bad decisions not unlike what happened in Minneapolis"

"That's the way it is," says the five-time draft dodger to our military families who fear their loved one in uniform could be next.

What this means for our customers

Secretary Hegseth has implied this designation would restrict anyone who does business with the military from doing business with Anthropic. The Secretary does not have the statutory authority to back up this statement. Legally, a supply chain risk designation under 10 USC 3252 can only extend to the use of Claude as part of Department of War contractsβ€”it cannot affect how contractors use Claude to serve other customers.

Kash Patel’s use of jet delayed FBI team’s mass shooting response, whistleblower tells top senator Sen. Richard Durbin says FBI director’s β€œmisplaced priorities” led to the delayed response to the Brown University shooting in December.

Breaking MS NOW:

Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available.

Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

Ilhan Omar to Trump: "You Have Killed Americans" A tense exchange during a remarkably racist portion of the president's State of the Union address.

Rep. Omar continues the yearly tradition of someone interrupting the State of the Union by yelling something true and accurate at Trump: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump takes credit for lower crime rates in Washington, DC after sending federal troops last year.

Fact check: Since peaking in 2023, D.C. violent crime fell in 2024, before Trump took office, and has continued to fall at similar rates before and after federal intervention.

trump is calling for banning congressional stock trading, but he leaves out the key detail: the reason there's a standstill right now is democrats want it to apply to trump and the white house, but trump issued a veto threat over that.

Walked out of the State of the Union because I couldn’t sit through hours of Trump’s lies.

Americans know the truth: he’s spiking prices and wrecking our economy.

We’re a better country than this.
